Re: First day of the week? Which one?

Is there anyway to know which day is the first day of the week from an International point of view when using Mac OS X < 10.4.

In Australia at least this is entirely personal preference. I think it's predominantly Sunday, but I do know quite a few people who take it as Monday.


I must wonder though if it really matters? iCal needs to know because you can't scroll through the days, in week view, arbitrarily; you have to jump a week at a time (which I figure's a bug anyway). I know a few odd sorts who figure their week starts on, say, Thursday, because they work from Thursday through Monday, taking Tuesday & Wednesday as their weekend. They'd appreciate iCal's flexibility as to what the first day of the week is.

But for that one example, there's plenty of others involving date handling where it's probably irrelevant. Can you share your particular scenario with us?

I guess there should perhaps be a setting for this in the Date & Time preference pane.
